The Alexandrian World Chronicle is an anonymous illustrated chronicle of the ancient Greek world of Alexandria, written in the 5th or 6th century AD. It consists only of some papyrus fragments, today kept at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow (inv. signature 310). It is also referred to as the Goleniščev Papyrus or Goleniščev Chronicle, named after Vladimir Golenishchev, its first recorded owner.[1]

An additional small fragment is in Vienna as part of the manuscripts of the Austrian National Library (K 11630).[2]
